10 Tech Stocks That Pay You Dividends to Own Them
The name of the game in investing is "total return." When you buy a stock, your total return comes from two places - price appreciation and dividends. For the longest time tech stocks were never mentioned hand-in-hand with dividend stocks. Pick up Amazon.com (AMZN) for $300, sell half at a thousand bucks a few years later, and you're sitting on free shares worth $1,600 each a year after that. That's the blueprint! Many tech stocks used to offer share splits as their prices rocketed higher. However many technology companies are maturing, and with breakneck growth in the rear-view mirror, and they need a different way to draw investors. The answer, for many, has been to start delivering dividends, paying investors for owning their shares. To be clear, tech stocks that pay dividends aren't done growing. The increased presence of technology in all aspects of human life means that there's still plenty of upside, even for Wall Street's biggest tech companies. To wit, old-guard blue chip Microsoft (MSFT) has surpassed Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Facebook (FB) in market value this year, and it's neck-and-neck with Amazon. Here are 10 tech stocks that offer an ideal combination of dividends and growth potential. They might not be the flashiest names in the sector, but they deserve attention nonetheless.

Western Digital Corporation -- Moody's changes Western Digital Corporation's outlook to negative
Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) affirmed Western Digital Corporation's ("WDC") Baa3 senior unsecured rating and changed the ratings outlook to negative, from stable. The ratings action reflects uncertainty in WDC's business outlook and Moody's expectation for a substantial erosion in earnings, financial leverage and free cash flow over at least the next 12 months. Moody's analyst Raj Joshi said, "Based on our current view that steep declines in prices driven by oversupply of NAND memory are likely to persist through at least mid-2019, WDC's adjusted operating profits could decline by up to 50% in fiscal year 2019." WDC faces significant challenges amid steeper than expected declines in the prices of NAND memory and industry oversupply that have been exacerbated by the slowing demand for high-capacity storage solutions by data center customers after several quarters of robust demand.
